Abstract
Synergism of Wild Grass and Hydrocarbonoclastic Bacteria in Petroleum Biodegradation
Highlights
Oil waste as the impact of petroleum industry can produce negative effect on living organisms and their ecology
The objective of this study was to obtain the wild grass types and hydrocarbonoclastic bacteria that were capable to synergize in decreasing petroleum concentration within petroleum polluted soil
The hydrocarbonoclastic bacteria isolates were obtained from study by Gofar (2012) which consisted of A. faecalis and Pseudomonas alcaligens bacteria
Summary
Oil waste as the impact of petroleum industry can produce negative effect on living organisms and their ecology. This negative impact is due to the content of oil composition which is dominated by toxic hydrocarbons coumpounds. The crude oil spill can be absorbed and accumulated within soil (Pezeshki et al 2000). As the pollution impact from petroleum is relatively significant, the technology having characteristics of simple, cheap and not producing further impact is required. One of the recommended method to accelerate petroleum degradation process is called bioremediation technique. Petroleum biodegradation can be conducted by utilizing
